World's first real submersible car
In the 1977 James Bond movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me', James dove below the waves in a sleek vehicle that moments before seemed to be an ordinary car. The only problem: the scene never really took place because it was an animation. Now thirty years after 'The Spy Who Loved Me' hit the silver screen, the movie fake now becomes reality with the sQuba submersible car.

Founder and CEO of Rinspeed Frank M. Rinderknecht is known for his extraordinary automotive creations. The acknowledged James Bond enthusiast and Swiss automobile visionary kept revisiting this scene in his mind over and over: For three decades I have tried to imagine how it might be possible to build a car that can fly under water. Now we have made this dream come true.

Stabile submerged flight
The sQuba is capable to submerged stabile flights at a depth of 10 meters and sets the sQuba apart from military vehicles. While the latter can go under water, they are limited to driving slowly over the submerged ground. Although it wasn't an easy task to make the sQuba watertight and pressure resistant enough. The real challenge however was to create a submersible car that moves like a fish in water.
